Gamecocks' Key Players Return Soon | College Basketball News

0:00It's September 15th. Welcome in. This is college basketball news today, where team coverage meets AI. Alright, let's talk about the game cocks. Two key players, Dylan Stewart and Jekarius Peak have been sideline for a minute. Stewart, a past rusher, has been dealing with a back issue that goes back to last season. Peak, who transferred over, has been recovering from a knee injury he picked up during a basketball tournament back in February. Both guys miss spring practice and the first two games of the season, which South Carolina won pretty comfortably. The plan was always to ease them back in, and it looks like their season debut might be this Saturday against Mississippi State. Head coach Shane Beamer was a little cagey about it, saying we'll have to wait for the official injury report. He mentioned that how much they play will depend on how they perform in practice this week, emphasizing that there's a ramp up process involved. It's worth noting that, even without Stewart and Peak, the game cocks have been holding their own. The defensive line has

1:00been getting after it with five sacks, and the offensive line has been solid, giving up only two sacks and helping the team. Rack up a lot of yards on the ground. If Peak is ready to go, it could shake things up on the offensive line. He played left tackle at his old school, and if he slots in there, it might mean a move for freshman Darius Gray, who's been playing really well so. Far, coaches seem to think Gray can handle multiple spots on the line, so we'll see how they decide to use him.
